MELA MURDER

We collaborated with dancer Mela Murder and choreographer Kaner Flex to create original choreography inspired by the SS17 Hyperwave collection. Mela is pregnant, and interpreted this utmost female power through the shape and movement of her body.

Mela Murder is a New York City native who has traveled the world as a professional dancer and choreographer for Diplo and Major Lazer. She stared in the film "GANG" on DAZED and choreographed and performed on Jimmy Fallon with Grimes. See her Chromat SS17 runway performance here.

Pussykrew is always searching for liminal states within the digital realm.

Their creative work balances between the notions of sensory experience and corporeal passages, it is connecting the physical and immaterial spaces.

Through our collaboration for the SS17 Hyperwave collection, we are interested in exploring the myriad ways in which body scanning, modeling, 3D printing and CGI can be combined to not only create new aesthetics, but also pave the way for future shopping and fit experience.

We at Chromat are excited about the future of 3D printing and body scanning as a tool to enable people who are shopping online to be able to try things on visually. Eventually everyone will have a 3D printer and be able to print out their garments at home, leading to full customization, which is our end goal.

We want every single body to have well-fit clothes that are tailor made for them. Fit is something we’re obsessed with and that’s why we show all different types of bodies on the runway and celebrate all of these amazing women; we want everyone to be able to wear Chromat and we want it to fit perfectly.
